One Week Getaway

The physical location (about 20-25 minutes from Universal) was not our first choice, but in the end, it was really our only choice.

The house, the land, the lake made for the perfect combination of peace and quiet that we ultimately sought out. After a long day at the parks, returning to the house was something we looked forward to... take a dip, lounge in the wonderfully manicured backyard, grill on the back porch. RInse, wash, repeat... we found ourselves in this pattern almost everyday.

Despite the owners being in the UK, they were extremely attentive when a minor glitch popped up. Rest assured they have locals taking great care to ensure that all our needs were met and in a timely fashion.

If your kids need to see Mickey every waking moment of every day, then by all means stay on site at Disney, but if you would also like to enjoy YOUR vacation, this is not a treat to miss out on.

Owner's Response: Thank you Dan for your kind comments, we will look
forward to seeing you again next year....

Incredibly peaceful and serene!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The house is tucked away on a dead end street - easy access, but so peaceful! Loved getting up in the morning and relaxing in the Florida Room, watching the birds feed, the squirrels play and the otters swim. The pool is a decent size and again so peaceful sitting out there in the evenings either watching our son swim or joining in. The house has plenty of room to relax. The furniture and beds were comfortable. Felt safe. Great time.

You are most welcome back at any time...........

Spacious house but needs some work

The house was very spacious but needed some upkeep. The front door was very dirty; the grass has not been cut, and the flowerbeds, porch and driveway needed to be swept. This did not appear to be a result of the hurricane that went through, but just general neglect of the outside of the property. One large area of the pool screen was ripped and blowing In the wind, leaving ready access to insects. There were missing lightbulbs in multiple lamps/light fixtures. Towel racks and toilet paper holder were missing in the ensuite bathroom. Dining room chair cushions looked like they had been gnawed by an animal. The kitchen counter was infested with sweet ants. Bed pillows need to be replaced. However, the property was within easy access to all the events we had planned to attend.

Owner's Response: The yard was not cut because our yard man went up to Carolina to help out with the mess left by the hurricane. The one screen panel that blew out in the hurricane had not been fixed because the screen guys had hundreds of calls to do. We continuously bugkill inside and outside the house, these ants where more likely to have been brought in on your bags.
I know small things can spoil a holiday and you had a week of bad weather. It is very hard to get an immediate response from contractors after a hurricane.......

Great house with nice views and lots for kids to do.

House was in a great location about 30 minutes to the parks. I have stayed closer to the parks before and it still takes just as long to get there with the traffic. Nice pool and views of the lake. The owners were very good at communicating with us and house was in great shape. Everything you need is there from ping pong to pool and fishing poles and bikes. Great stay.

Exceeded my expectations

This was my 2nd time staying at this property. I wanted my husband and I to relax and to spend time with our first grandson. It was perfect, secured, relaxing, quiet and very spacious. I would come back at any time. The location is perfect. Close to almost everything. I loved it. Thank you Suzanne.
